Rundiing Up.

from tDe bOSlOu fO1i
My idea is, however, that the dan
ger is OF bundling up too much in ouI
climate. 1t is better, | think, to trust
to exercise rather than very thick
clothes to keep our bodies warm IN
winter weather. OF course, our ap-
parel should be eadapted to the season,
but 1t should not interfere with the
enjoyment OF brisk walk or expose
us to taking cold from stopping to
rest. As for the face and throat, it is
a mistake to cover thena with mufilers
which make them sensitive to every
change OF temperature. There is such
thing as getting hardened against
cold, and go far as this can be secured
without dangerous exposureit is earn
estiy desirable. At all events, there is
positive discomfort, ii not danger, in
mufiiing ones throat so as TO leave
it at the mercy OF the mild days,
which are go plentifully sandwiched
among the cold ones in our capricious
climate

The "Devil Extractor'' of India.

FROM the Times OF lnQlA
The last census In India revealed the
fact that there are more occupations
engaged in by the people OF the coun-
try than the ordinary public is cogni-
zant of, but as far as we remember, it
has been left to the Madras small
cause court to bring to light a gentle
man who gains his living by devil ex-
tracing. This novel, and if we may
Judge by the fee charged, highly lucra-
tive employment, appears to be recog-
nized as perfectly legitimate pro-
ression. The cause OF action, it is true,
Was put down in the plant as refu-
sal to pay the plaintiff for the cure OF
the defendants brother OF a mental
disorder or mania attended by physi-
sal distress, iusensibility and pains,
but there was no disguise in court as
to the exact nature OF the claim. In
fact, the Judge, q native gentleman,
appeared to resent the skepticispi of
the defendants pleader as to the pos
sibility OF casting out devils and his
iocrlarity at the expense OF the plain
tiff's profession. What, if g doctor
does not cure, he cannot recover" his
honor exclaimed on one occasion, and
on another. when the defendants
pleader expressed his disbelief in devil
extracting, he inconsequently OBJ
served: "But you believe in haunted
houses?' To this remark the pleader
replied: "There may be q spiritual
manifestation, from which it would
appear that he is not altogether free
from the Superstition which he ridi-
culed. The plaintiffs cross examina-
tion was very diverting. Diseases, he
said, were OF three fundamental,
spiritual and physical. Some physi-
cal diseases he could cure by his art,
but not every case. Asked if he could
cure love pains, he replied; THAT is
very hard pain to cure; even my
father could not cure that" Later
on he stated that he could not cure
person unless he were negative.
Other witnesses called described the
nature of the plaintiffs treatment
and it's success. It was inferred that
the evil spirit OF the patient in this
case was one OF the female kind, and
as he, poor man, had only just been
married, perhaps the presumption
was not far from the truth. At the
conclusion OF the evidence the worthy
Judge dismissed the suit, not because
be was OF the opinion that there WAS
no cause OF action, but because there
was no evidence to support the con-
tract sued upon.

Revised Estimate of the Killed and In
jured in the Vermont Disaster
A most careful revision shows the
following estimate of the number OF
persons on the wrecked train at White
River, Vt, and now accounted for
thus far. 1t makes the number OF
killed thirty-two. There were brought
to Windsor on the Connecticut River
road thirty; to the White River juno
tion, on the Boston & Lowell road,
forty-three; taken on at White River
Junction, six; trainmen, twelve; total
on train, ninety-one. OF these eighty
seven are accounted Tor, four are still
missing and twenty-four of the dead
have been identified. These figures
may be changed by the probable pres
ence OF chill lren without tickets on the
train, es vet unheard from.

Successful Suit to Recoy er Damages for
Failure to Deliver Dispatch.
At Charlotte, n. C., on the 7th,
Judgment was rendered against the
Western Union Telegraph Company
in the superior court, for failure to
deliver a dispatch sent by a mer-
chant to a New York firm to
cover 500 bales OF cotton futures.
The telegraph company pleaded
that the company had stipulated
that it would not be responsible in
sending messages unless repeated, for
which additional charge was made;
second, that the plaintiffs dealings in
Neg York were wagering contracts
and void as against public policy;
third, that the kilograms being in ci,
pher, the company could not in any
event be held liable to more than
nominal damages. The verdict of the
iury was for S 200, the full amount
claimed to have been lost by the
plaintiffs, with legal interest. The
case has been appealed TO the su-
preme court OF the state.
